3040 bigger then 3037 right?

yeah i fink i should strengthen my box though

coz like i dun want it blowing when i start gettin up to the power output i want:)

so roughly i am after 300-400hp

do i really need to get a trust plenum for that sought of power?

adrian

Adrian,

No you don't need a Trust plenum for that, but it makes it easier to get that power. 3037 is HKS variant, they make minor adjustments to trims etc, over the garret unit. Both are around 550-600hp.

The box should be fine, how were you going to strengthen it?

See'ya:burnout:

what i meant

by strenghtening

was geta stronger box

u know like them aftermarket shifters?

but then i would rather spend the money on getting a manual conversion done ahh well auto will do for now, ah so ur using a garrett turbo smae specs as hks turbo?

but cheaper am i right?

so ur saying to build up revs in a auto, have the car in drive, and keep foot firmly on brake while reving then let gooff brake when it's time to roll?

adrian

Bully,

Seeing as your up, and I don't trust Adrian's opinion, can i ask you a serious question?

With these SAU shirts, would you like for us to organise one of each to be made so that all those interested could see what they are getting before they buy? I was thinking about one mans(L) and one womans(M), it would give people a better idea about sizes aswell.

See'ya:burnout:

Adrian, Yeah that's the best way to launch an auto.

Garret sell HKS some of there turbo's, which are only sold by HKS, therefore you cannot get a Garret turbo which has the same specs as the HKS one. But seeing as the HKS one is over $1000 more then I don't see where the real benefit is, I'd rather go for the Garret one which produces similar power.

See'ya:burnout:

troo troo good point

yeah i read bout garret providing hks turbos

and it also said who the other jap houses

got their turbos from :)

okay so the trust or subzero plenum is goin to be a 11th hour decision for me as well ;) argh i hate decisions

adrian :)

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
